I need help in suspending users from Canvas for clean-up purposes. How do I bulk delete users that are no longer being used? Thank you
Hi @BISADMINLMS2023
If your users were created using the SIS Import tool, you can upload a list of users with a status of "deleted" as a CSV file in order to mark them as a deleted and no longer available on the system. The file format for user files (with an explanation of all the fields) is at https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.sis_csv.html
Hi @BISADMINLMS2023 , thank you for your query.if you're looking for users not to be able to access Canvas BUT still want to leave enrollment information and analytical data in Canvas, I'd suggest updating the user status to suspended. You can also manually do this from the Canvas UIIf you're looking for users who cannot access Canvas AND don't want any information in the Canvas UI, I suggest updating the user status to "deleted". You can also manually do this from the Canvas UI*note: You can only bring back deleted users via the CSV import method so ensure all users have a sis_id before deletion.
@EA-ADMIN1 - I'd reach out to your Customer Success Manager to confirm your agreement. Suspending and deleting essentially perform the same function except one remains in the Canvas LMS UI (suspended) and one does not (deleted).

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
